With the release of his most recent album, Ain’t My Last Rodeo, Riley Green has plenty of new music to share and according to him, it was a “requirement” that one be a collaboration with GRAMMY-nominated, Jelly Roll.
LISTEN NOW: Riley Green says his collab with Jelly Roll was something fans ‘didn’t see coming’
“I think you have to have Jelly Roll on at least one song to release an album now, he’s very popular,” Green joked. “I thought it was a cool collaboration that people probably didn’t see coming.”
While people may have not seen it coming, Green says the duo was a natural fit from the very first time they met, which translated directly into, “Copenhagen In A Cadillac,” included on Green’s newest album.
“He’s one of those guys, we just hit it off the first time we met. [It] seemed like we’d known each other forever,” he said. “He’s having such a cool moment in Country music and his stories are very original. I think what people are drawn to is he doesn’t hide anything about it, he is who he is.”
He continued, “We’ve done a bunch of shows together, so I’m glad we got that song on the album. I’m happy for him and all that he’s got goin’ on.”
